I made these last weekend for company and they are so good, I am making some more today. Not like your usual Brownie, but good non the less. Very easy to make, I noticed I had to cook it just a little longer than the recipe said to make sure cream cheese set.

I found these bars,very tasty.I did cut powder sugar by 3/4 cup. Was sweet enough for my family. A great potluck item..Thank U..UPDATE: I make these brownies now using a pecan cake mix and add 1 extra egg to the cream cheese topping. Also use only 2 cups of powder sugar...UMmm Good..
